This can happen if MAPI is being used in Dimensions (which requires Outlook) and a recent Office upgrade has replaced a 32-bit version of Office with a 64-bit version. In this case, when emailing a report from within Dimensions it may show a message saying Sending email but no emails are generated.

  1. Click System, Security, User Records (Ribbon) or System Control, Users, User Records (Classic)
